Bits And Pieces #15

Well, it’s catch-up time with all the little things that have been swirling around my mind! Some are really little bits, but I’ve found that, once I’ve dumped them into my blog, there’s more room in my head for new stuff.

Okay, I watched the whole John Edwards piece on “20-20” last week. They interviewed Andrew Young, a former Edwards aide who has written a tell-all book entitled The Politician. Normally, I write these kind of things off, but Young’s account had the ring of truth for me. I always thought Edwards was a little too “goody-two-shoes” to be true and obviously I was right. I was interested to learn that he spent over a million dollars of campaign funds to hide his mistress, Rielle Hunter from The National Enquirer. Young also told how Edwards and Hunter sat by the fire, listening to “their song” and talking about what their lives together would be like once Elizabeth was dead. Classy, huh? And then when she became pregnant, he wanted his aide to take the responsibility! I bet if you looked up the word “smarmy” in the dictionary, you’d see a picture of John Edwards.

This sign was meant to encourage fat people to shed a few pounds and join a health club and spa attached to Cadbury House hotel in Bristol. Needless to say, it caused an uproar. Sheesh! Don’t people have a sense of humor anymore?

To those of you who are fans of the TV show, “Lost,” I want to remind you that the final season starts Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. Central Time. The way I see it, if you’ve put in the time during all the past years, you owe it to yourself to have everything explained and to see how it ends. Oh, who am I kidding? I’m tuning in because I have the hots for Sawyer, played by Josh Holloway. That man, with his sexy voice and his lazy good looks could convince me to stay on an island with him forever! No problem. No problem at all…

*******************************

And finally I want to share a line I came across from the movie “Leap Year.” After reading this, I think I really must see the movie.

“May you never steal, lie, or cheat, but if you must steal, then steal away my sorrows, and if you must lie, lie with me all the nights of my life, and if you must cheat, then please cheat death because I couldn’t live a day without you.”

Doesn’t it just make you want to go “Ahhhhh!” I thought so. Me, too.

I think Young is pretty smarmy, too. Can you imagine putting his own family through what he did just to try to shield Edwards? And now he writes a “tell all”, or, more likely, a “make it up all” book in which he trashes Elizabeth. I am shocked, shocked, I tell you, to hear that possibly she was irritable at times when undergoing chemo, dealing with a terminal illness, young children to worry about, and a louse of a husband. Rolls eyes.

This is another case of the wife should have run for office, not the husband.

Yeah, that whole John Edwards things is just too much. Another classic case of a politician letting the wrong head do the thinkin’…

I had to laugh at your movie line. It’s a take on an old Irish toast that I dearly love:

To the four hinges of society:
May you fight, steal, lie and drink.
When you fight, may you fight for your country.
When you steal, may you steal away from bad company.
When you lie, may you lie next to your sweetheart.
When you drink, may you drink with me.

Now that I’m through gagging from reading the quote from “Leap Year”, I have to say that aliens will not eat the fatties first! That would be stupid on the alien’s part. Since they are all so thin with big heads (i.e. brains) it’s obvious they never eat fat.
